Leading software provider NETIA’s Radio-Assist™ has been selected by Radio Sultanate of Oman for its stations in Muscat and Salalah.

The software will provide complete automation and support digitization and preservation of the broadcaster’s national archives, currently stored on a 80,000 audio tapes.

The custom Radio-Assist System automates Production, Scheduling, Playout, and Archiving and will run in English as well as Arabic.

The NETIA system provides fast remote access ensuring the stability of archived content, while synchronizing the Muscat and Salalah archives and giving them the option of exchanging content.

Ahmed Al Balushi, Director of radio studios, Radio Sultanate of Oman said: “The modular design of NETIA’s software suite has allowed us to implement a solution tailored to our needs, and it will enable future adaption of the system as our broadcast and archiving workflows evolve.”

Philippe Fort, CEO at NETIA said: “We worked closely with the Radio Sultanate of Oman to engineer a stable, secure, and reliable solution for preserving the valuable audio assets and for making that media readily available for future broadcast or distribution.”
